Dokoncene bezprstove rukavice.Vzalo mi to dva cele vecery ale z vysledkem jsem spokojena.Vychytala jsem chybicky a doufam,ze dalsi par uz bude 100%.

Finished fingerless gloves.It took me two evenings to make them and I am happy with the result. There were few little glitches and I hope that the next pair will be 100%.

rukavice - gloves

Dekuji vsem za podporu,Neil bude v poradku ale poradne me to vydesilo!

Vcera jsem dopletla prvni rukavici,chybi knoflicky na manzete.Na ne a dalsi "dodelavky" se vrhnu az bude hotova i ta druha.

Thank you everyone for all the support.Neil is going to be ok but the whole thing was a big scare.

Yesterday I finished the first glove,buttons on the cuff are still missing.I'll do the finishing touches when the second one is done too.

Happy Thanksgiving - Den díkuvzdání

Dnes se u nas slavi Thanksgiving, trosku nekonvencni Den dikuvzdani. Hlavni chod je pecena kruta a jako zakusek pak dynovy kolac. Mezi tim spousta dalsich priloh a dobrutek! My jsme meli veceri v sobotu protoze v nedeli jela dcera s pritelem k jeho rodine a dnes to zase slavi muj syn z pritelkyni u nich. Kruta byla krasne vypecena a dobreho jidla a piti bylo vic nez dost.Vecer probehl pohodove ale dobrou naladu prece jen poznamenala dost zavazana udalost. Po tydnech a tydnech prace na strese Neil ve ctvrtek delal dalsi upravy na balkone a uz za tmy pri uklizeni spadl.Nasla jsem ho v bezvedomi na zemi se zakrvacenym oblicejem. Ma pohmozdenou celou levou stranu na kterou nejspise dopadl-nic si nastesti nepamatuje.Hlava je v poradku. Doktor nevyloucil zlomena zebra ale z rengenu se to nedalo presne vycist. Kycel je nastesti cela i kdyz cela kycelni oblast je jedna velka podlitina.Take rameno je poradne pohmozdene. Je mi porad jeste spatne pri pomysleni ze mnoho nechybelo a mohl byt zmrzaceny a nebo to vubec nemusel prezit.


Today is Thanksgiving,which means turkey and pumpkin pie and many other goodies in between! We had our Thanksgiving dinner Saturday because my daughter was celebrating it with her partners parents Sunday and my son with his girlfriends family today. The turkey was perfect, the food was delicious but there was one thing that marked the happy gathering. After weeks of working on the roof, Neil was finishing some stuff on the balcony on Thursday evening and fell down.I found him on the ground unconscious with bloody face. His head is ok, his left side of the body took the impact ( he doesn't remember anything).The doctor couldn't tell if some ribs were cracked but his hip is not and that's a good news.He is bruised very badly but I am very grateful that he is not crippled or dead...........very sickening thought.

V nedeli rano jsem se pustila do uklidu kuchyne,zbylo dost jidla nejmene na dalsi dva dny a z Neilem jsme tu zustali sami dva.

Sunday I started cleaning the kitchen, we have enough left overs for few days. It was just Neil and I at home.

Podzimni pocasi,vytopeny dum a klidne odpolende jako stvorene pro rucni prace.

Fall weather, warm house and peaceful afternoon just perfect for some craft time.

Vytahla jsem tedy klubko a jehlice a nahodila ocka . To je moje terapie.

I pulled out my knitting needles and cast on the stitches. That is my mind therapy :)

Kuchynske drevene pomucky - Wooden utensils

V lete jsem objevila na blogu u Geninne tenhle prispevek a odkaz k Stephanie. Ta uvadi postup jak si udelat z vceliho vosku a mineralniho oleje "hmotu" na osetreni drevenych varecek,misek,prkenek atd. 1 dil vceliho vosku se rozpusti ve sklenicce ve vodni lazni a pak se pridaji 4 dily mineralniho oleje. Po zchladnuti muzete zacit nanaset,je to velice prijemne na ruce a tak ani nevadi,ze se musi aplikace dost casto opakovat.Kuchynske nacini pry dele vydrzi,nenatahuje do sebe tekutiny a vypada mnohem lepe.

I found this on Geninne's blog this summer and went to check Stephanie's blog as well.I tried it and it turned out really well.You have to re-apply it quite frequently but the bees wax with the oil feels very good on your hands and the utensils are so nice and shiny after the application that I don't really mind to do it. 1 part bees wax to 4 parts of mineral oil. Melt the bees wax in a jar in the water bath then add the oil to it.It will blend together nicely and after it cools down you can start oiling :))

Casopisy - Magazines

Z nakupem novych casopisu i nova predsevzeti o tom jak ze mne za dlouhych zimnich veceru bude pilna vcelicka.
Jenze bohuzel i v zime nejak stale nemuzu najit dostatek casu pro vsechny me konicky:(

With the purchased of some new magazines also comes a resolution about me being a busy bee in the long winter evenings. Unfortunately even in winter I have a hard time to find enough time for all my hobbies :(

In spite of that, I already started to crochet some Christmas ornaments. No time for starch yet :)

Nicmene jsem se uz pustila do hackovani vanocnich ozdob.Na skrobeni zatim nebyl cas :)

Az se zima zepta......

Asi jsem se zblaznila ale letos jsem uz zpracovala (kompoty,dzemy,drene,catni,nakladana zelenina) :

27kg tresni (a vsechny vypeckovala)
40kg broskvi
10kg svestek
18kg hrusek
20kg boruvek
30kg okurek
20kg zelenych fazolek
11kg cervene repy

Na zitrek mam nachystany dalsi 11kg pytel cervene repy.Ted nam zacinaji dozravat jablka,z tech delam jablecnou dren a most a pak uz jen nalozit zeli.Pri nakupu bio ovoce a zeleniny (neco je z nasi zahradky) z mistnich zdroju vime ze nekonzumujeme chemicky osetrene plody a ja si rikam,ze se vsechna ta prace s tim spojena vyplati.

I must be crazy but this year I already processed (jams,relishes,can fruits and pickled veggies) :

60 lbs cherries

90 lbs peaches

20 lbs plums

40 lbs pears

45 lbs blueberries

65 lbs cucumbers

45 lbs green beans

25 lbs red beets

I have one more 25 lbs bag of red beets waiting for me to do tomorrow.The apples are ripening in the garden.I usually make apple sauce and juice and after that I'll make sauerkraut. When you buy(some we grow) organic fruits and veggies locally I think that at the end all this work is worth it.

Recept na Cuketovou kari polevku najdete tady a Salat z cervene repy zde.

You can find the recipe for Curried zucchini soup here and Red beet salad here.
